My pool guy wanted $500 to put a seal kit in. I literally watched your video twice and did it myself in 30 minutes and about $25 worth of parts including the pool lube. Thank you!
New pump is $400.
Mark I want to personally thank you for a very concise instructional video that taught me how to replace the seals. Worked like a charm.
Thank YOU, Mark.
This is how tutorials are meant to be.
This is by far the clearest and most thorough self help video I have ever used and I use many! Thanks Mark!!!
Great breakdown of every step. My pump is now pumping more water pressure than it has in the 14 years I’ve owned my home.
Yes yes yes after watching I can't even tell you how many videos I've watched. Thank you for explaining all orings ,gasket, and all that comes with the seal kit
I tend to do most everything on my pool now. Once you know the basics it really helps out and saves money. Very well done video, very clear narration and video quality. Thanks!
I just had to replace my pool pump, the pool store wanted $900 to replace it. So I said no way in hell, so I bought the pump on Amazon watched this video and did it myself. The pump cost me $ 315.00. I saved almost $ 600. Thanks to you guys for the video. Keep doing pool project videos. You guys took great detail in explaining the process. Thanks.
Excellent, well-produced instructional video. Thorough and accurate yet a relatively short video. We were able to confidently disassemble the pump and change out the gaskets in about an hour. Thank you!!
Great video! You explained it step by step in an easy way!! Thank you!!
You saved me probably $1000, vs. calling my installer, who would probably have replaced the pump (at $550 retail, plus his mark-up, plus his labor). Thank you!
Wow, You made a GREAT video, very clear. I take care of most Pool maintenance myself, and when my Inground Pool Hayward motor went crazy noisy, I checked around and just wanted to replace the motor, while local pool supply companies said just get the entire unit, Motor and housing for $550!. The Hayward 1HP Motor was gotten for about $159, and then your video was the BEST, very clear and WOW, really easy to follow. Thank You!
Best instruction video on installing a Go-kit that I've seen. I just wish that I had watched your video 1st. Great Job, Thanks !!
This video has helped me a ton! You got yourself a new subscriber, cheers mate!
Absolutely perfect video!!! Quick, to the point & not dragged out talking nonsense!! Going home today to fix my leaking pump!
Awesome! No music, no bs, just instruction presented clearly and completely!
My motor is running great, but I have two problems, undoubtedly related. I have no water flowing and when I took the basket cover off the water was steaming hot, and the basket had melted! I kid you not. I am going to assume that my 5-year-old impeller is quite literally toast.
Your impeller may be ok, good luck and thanks for watching.
Thank you very much Mark! Basically I never tried to fix anything myself related to my pool until I saw this video, very clear and precise. My dual speed Hayward pump suddenly started leaking a little bit last week, I couldn't find any obvious leaking around the drain and pipes. Luckily I found your video and ordered the parts. Today I dismantled the pump and followed your instruction step by step, put everything back together after replacing the seals and gaskets. The only one thing different was that my impeller got stuck, I went to buy a strap wrench in the middle and it worked great. I'm still checking if the leaking really got fixed but I want to thank you for saving me 150 dollars by making this great video!
Excellent tutorial. I saved $2300 dollars by doing it myself with the online video tutorials. This was well explained. Now my pump work perfect. Thank you so much. My total cost for do it yourself repair was $357.00
great video I did the repair by myself and it's now fixed. You saved me 150 $ thanks once again
Great Job Mark, For those of you who are having a leak, change both seals on the inner case. The loud noise you may be hearing is your ceramic discs. If you ever ran your pump dry that maybe your problem. Not just trying to steal your thunder just adding my 2 cents.
Using this video I was able to replace the seal on my pump, which stopped the leak! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the great video! With the prices 2x higher they they were 3 years ago, it is super helpful to replace the motor (and seals) rather than buying the whole unit.
Best video on the topic. Thank you for showing the direction of the motor shaft seal.
Mark, this video tutorial is fantastic! Followed along with you step-by-step (with some pausing) and got the job done. Saved me a lot of time and headaches today. Thank you!
Thank you for a very good instructional video. You saved me quite a bit of money, and I learned more about how my pool works. No more leak!!!!
Just bought a replacement motor and seal kit. This video explains everything. Thank you!
Great video.Thx🙂👍
I actually just used the regular pool and spa lube. Great video again! On the old seal with the spring on my motor, the metal backing part separated from rubber seal and I just had to pull it off of the impeller shaft with some pliers. You just saved me and the rest of us hundreds of dollars and saved us downtime!
Wow. Thanks so much Mark. I followed a different video last year and it was far more confusing, particularly regarding how to get at the shaft to hold it in place. Loosening up the condenser made it a snap to get in there. No more leaks or air bubbles!
Excellent presentation! I feel like I was back in corporate training for the semiconductor processing equipment I worked on for 30 years. Thorough explanations of the steps, the whys and the hows. I will be doing this job today on my crusty Hayward pump (driven by a Century HST110, 1.1HP motor). The only thing I would ad is IF your pump is still wired (like mine), turn OFF the circuit breaker(s) for the pump and use a multimeter to confirm AC power is disconnected. Thankfully, LOTO is not really necessary at home. :)
Thank you for your video! It helped me to build confidence to go and replace my pools seals this weekend! I've done plenty of other DIY items similar to this, but as a new owner who inherited the pool, a lot of this stuff I'll be doing for the first time. Appreciate the guidance! (Edited for grammar and clarity).
Hi Mark, thank you so much so much.your video was well explained... I changed my electic motor and my seal easly after watching you doing so❤💯
Your video helped encourage me that I could do it myself! Thanks!
Subscribed. Just like all the comments, your video hits it perfectly. Thanks for an easy repair.
Followed everything step by step, great guide, thanks!
Super video! Easy to follow and saved me a service call!! Thanks a ton!
Excellent video. Very complete and descriptive. Exactly what I was searching for. Much appreciated!!
Great video , thank you for sharing.
This video was so helpful and clear and concise! Thank you so much! I was able to replace all 4 gaskets on my pump following this.
Thank you so much! Fantastic video. I love how you take your time and explain things.
Great explanation, best I've seen so far. Thanks so much.
Thanks for the great instructions!
You saved me a lot of grief!
Thank you for your clear instructions
This video is the perfect one to watch, the other videos do tell you about the metal part in and the black ceramic portion out. Thank you.
Thank you! Great job ! Your instructions were spot on
your help videos are so easy to follow it makes me think you should offer a course in pool maintenance!
Forget the rest, he's the best!
Thanks, I just followed this on my Hayward, same model. Swapped in and running in :20mts and I'm spaz... You can do this, save hundred$.
Thank You! Great Demonstration!
Your video help me 100%. Very useful for me.
Like the video- simple , direct and great that you gave wrench sizes so I didnt need to lug the whole toolbox. One thought I had- do you need to warn watchers to be careful and not touch wires to the capacitor with fingers or wrench - take care and ty
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Great information and video. I was able to do everything you showed.
Very well explained and thorough. Excellent video.
This video was very helpful. Very easy to follow. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the through directions!!! Helped us tremendously!!!
Thanks for that video. I replaced the seal of my pump easily!
Excellent video! Thanks bunch for putting this together.
Perfect, thank you. I will be changing the motor on my old pump and installing a new seal kit at the same time. Got to have a spare.
Thank you bro... this was exactly what we needed.
Thank you Sir I changed all seals my self God Bless you 🙏
Great video!! Thanks Mark. I am right down the road from you. I just ordered my parts from you.
Hi Mark, excellent and clear video. I wish I had seen it before I started my motor replacement - would have saved me a lot of time and some grief. I especially appreciate the clear and accurate description of the orientation of the seal on the impeller- a really important detail neglected or glossed over in several other videos (one - the first one I watched - was actually backwards).
Two suggestions: first, I second an earlier comment about the warning not to touch the white (ceramic or teflon?) part of the seal ring with one’s fingers. Several admonishments on other videos that may cause premature failure (although I haven’t found manufacturer’s documentation supporting that). Second, the inner metal part of the old seal may stay in place when one removes it off the impeller shaft (especially if several years old). To an amateur, it looks like part of the shaft, especially considering the keying appears to line up with the keying on the new seal (if it’s backwards). The seal will not seat properly and will friction load the motor badly. (I think you may have mentioned it on your Pentair seal replacement video, but not here).
Again, great video. As you may be able to tell, I’ve seen at least 8-10 over the last day trying to put all the puzzle pieces together for why this motor replacement didn’t work the first time for me. Your videos are definitely a cut above most in quality and technical accuracy. Appreciate your excellent work.
Thanks for making this reply about the inner metal sleeve still remaining attached to the drive shaft. I thought I had purchased the wrong size until I read your comment. Unfortunately, I finished the replacement according to the video, which was very clear, but I now have leaks worse than before! I guess I'm up for a new pump.
Excellent, clear video! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video! You make a great instructor! Thank you!
Mark thank you. What a great video! Perfect explanation.
Very good explanation and video and thanks Mark.
Awesome. Well spoken and easy to follow.
Thank you Sir, you saved us a bundle!
fantastically done, very helpful!
Love the cut away view. Thanks.
Thanks mark
I just changed mine on my 17 year old super pump for the first time . So I was a little weary of doing it just want to add if your pump is old the shaft may need a little sprucing up I used an emery bored for finger nails . To very gently remove said gunk of 17 years on the shaft . All turned out good . Seal cost 15 bucks
Excellent video, thanks
Thank you, my pump was leaking and you showed me I had my shaft spring seal on backwards. Leak is now repaired.
Great video, thank you!
This YT was amazing! Thanks so much
Thanks Mark!!
Great video. Thanks for the help.
Awesome video. Saved my butt.
The impeller never unscrews that easily lol
My impeller was on so tight (from the factory, first time seal replacement), I had to use a rubber strap wrench to get it off, then it was easy. In the video he barely hand tightens it, that can't be right either. A little more detail would be good.
Great tutorial
Well Done !
My Hayward Super pump is leaking from somewhere. I haven't figured out where yet. It isn't from any of the ports/pvc. Plugs? Seals? Don't know - but armed with this video - i'm gonna try to take it apart and figure it out. Wish me luck! Thanks, Mark!
Thank you sooo much
wish I would have seen this video first before I did mine , lol
The only thing missing from this excellent video is the electric connections and selecting between 110/220 (115/230).
I did make another video on wiring a pool pump, here is the link. Thanks for watching.

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies do you have a video on replacing the seal on a Hayward Super Pump 700 (wiring connections located in a square box on top of the pump)?
@@MrDeuce1956 I do not have a video on the 700 at this time. Replacing the seal set on the 700 and the super pump are the same. The wiring connections located in the square box on the 700 are different, but very easy to follow.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Do you have an email address that I can send a pic to?
Yes, our email is on our website.
Excellent video. I’m not sure where mine is leaking from yet but at least I know there are several seals so I will troubleshoot it as I take it apart. Hoping to find a kit online that contains all the seals.
I have the seal set to include the kits that contain all the seals and gaskets for the super pump. The link for all these parts are down below in the description of this video. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you very much.
Excelled resource, was instrumental in replacing the seal kit on my SP. My impeller was much more difficult to remove than yours but my strap wrench made easy work of it..
Is this seal something that should be replaced every so often as maintenance or is this something you replace once you have a leak?
You only need to change the shaft seals if the pump leaks or when you replace a motor.
Nice video. Black part of seal is carbon; white part is ceramic.
Ty brooo!!!!
Thank!!
VERY clear and detailed video! We just opened the pool two days ago and discovered a leak between the motor and the pump. After watching this a few times it looks like something I will work on. Is the process much different on an older Hayward Super Pump (Capacitor on top) Unsure of age as it was part of home when we purchased almost 15 years ago S/N is BJ9-254? I want to keep this going as long as possible as new products in general just don't seem to last as long anymore. Thank you.
Yes, the process is the same on an older super pump versus a newer Hayward Super Pump.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Replaced all the seals and all the leaks are gone! Thank you so much for your work. A side note for anyone who has an older motor (30ish y.o.) you don't have to take the plate off the back of it. There's a little metal cap about the size of a half dollar that pops off where you put your pliers in and hold the impeller. Thanks again for saving me lots of money and for doing these videos. You are appreciated.
thanks
Great info and tips!! For Saltwater pool we need a Viton seal but for chlorine pool will it last longer if it's a Viton seal or a regular seal is as good?
A regular seal set is good, viton seals will last a little longer.
This video saved the day I changed my Motor and all the seals with no problem thanks
This was a great video. Can you help with getting parts for a different brand? Sparco?
Hey Paul,
Sparco is more than likely a private label company manufactured by Waterways. Email us a picture of your pump at hallmarkpoolsupplies@gmail.com and we would be happy to look into it!
Excellect Tutorial loved it . .only question is .. dont I need to discharge that Cap before getting so close to it with a wrench .. ? thanks !
You will be okay, just don't touch the terminals on the capacitor with the wrench or your fingers.
Is the housing gasket a round O-ring or a flat ribbon like O-ring? It was the one not replaced.
Great video. Just wondering if you would also put lube on the large o-ring that's on the housing, before you put the motor back in? Thank-you!
That would be fine. Thanks for watching.
